Satellite quit working need help

I have a 2002 Holiday Rambler endevour. I have an older Winegard SDI in motion satellite and it just quit working. The on/off switch doesn't light up either. I think maybe I got a surge and it blew a fuse. Only thing is I can't find any fuse. Is it possible it's an inline fuse or a fuse placed in a reserved or empty fuse receptacle. Any help either attempting to locate said fuse or trouble shooting would be appreciated.

There likely is not a fuse. You don't need to pull anything "completely out" but you will likely need to remove the wall plate to see where the wires go. The installer didn't run any wires to somewhere he could not access so the wires should go somewhere nearby.
What I post is my 2 cents and nothing more. Please don't read anything into my post that's not there. If you disagree, that's OK.
Can't we all just get along?

Thanks for the help. No the previous owner installed it. I will look at the antenna and see if it's wired in that. Any idea if u think there might be an inline fuse? Is there anyway to trace the 12V line without completely pulling it out. Since it's wired behind the cabinets I would really not want to pull them down haha.

Thx

If this is factory installed (most likely not) then you would have a fuse in a 12V fuse box. Since it's my guess that it's not factory, then I would suggest you remove the wall plate switch and trace the 12V wire back to the source of the 12V power. It's most likely tapped into your OTA TV antenna power or a similar source near the plate.
